Our House Will Be a Very Fine House

So our house closing came and went with only minor issues (reminder: make sure your middle initial is on your home insurance policy), and now Nissa and I are homeowners. We have to wait until the end of the month to begin living there, as the floors won’t be refinished until then. This does provide us with plenty of time to move though. We’ve made a number of trips already, so our apartment is beginning to look empty. By the end of this week, we hope to have most of our possessions stored either in the basement of the new house, or the kitchen bathroom areas (the only places without hardwood floors that need to be refinished). The last week of the month may see us living out of suitcases and eating simple or no preparation meals, but that’s ok if it allows us to quickly and easily close up our current apartment on the 30th. Normally we’d use the final day of the month to clean the old place and move our stuff to the house, but that day happens to be Nissa’s college reunion, so instead of moving we’ll be up in Brunswick reminiscing. It may be a late night on Friday the 30th, but we’ll get it all done in time.
